Congenital malaria, defined as the presence of malaria parasites in the erythrocytes of newborns aged p < 0.001) were the variables that were significantly higher in the mothers of the parasitaemic newborns. We conclude that congenital malaria parasitaemia in tropical endemic areas is not rare. Pre-term neonates, infants of primigravidae, women with history of fever within 3 months of delivery and women with post-partum peripheral parasitaemia may benefit from routine screening for malaria.
